A Journey through Twin Parenthood

6 weeks 1 day

Today I am six weeks and one day and have exactly 1 week and one day left to go until my next ultrasound. I’m nervous and excited and really can’t wait to hear those heartbeats! My husband says he knows for Christmas I would like nothing better than an ultrasound machine or at least a fetal doppler so I can calm my paranoia.

So, I haven’t really had too many symptoms I guess. The bloating comes and goes now that I’m taking Prometrium instead of the Progesterone in Oil. The big difference I have noticed though is about a half hour after I take the Prometrium I feel really groggy and pass out quickly. I’m hoping I don’t have to go any where at night any time soon! Other than that, I have had some “morning sickness.” It started not too long ago with food aversions but now I’m slightly nauseous when I wake up but the real nausea begins after I eat something. Backwards a little? I have still been forcing myself to eat good foods though. I’m a little worried that instead of maintaining my weight I have lost about 5lbs since becoming pregnant. I haven’t vomited or anything though. Maybe I haven’t been eating as much as I should. Could be those nights when I pass out before making it to the dinner table too:) Oh, and I’m really tired during the day too now. So, forgive me if this post is rambly or doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

I am currently struggling with infertility and am trying to share my experience with others who may be going through the same thing. Right now, my life is focused on conceiving but I also enjoy books, hiking, animals, and I absolutely love to travel.
